Electrical Energy

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit that has only one conductive path for the electric current to flow.

Front

What is an electron?

Back

An electron is a negatively charged particle that moves between objects, causing them to gain or lose electric charge.

When do you have the greatest amount of kinetic energy while sledding down a hill?

Back

You have the greatest amount of kinetic energy while you are sliding down the hill.

Front

What are good insulators?

Back

Good insulators include materials like wood, glass, and plastic that do not conduct electricity well.

Front

What happens to particles with opposite charges?

Back

Particles with opposite charges are attracted to each other.

Front

What is an electric circuit?

Back

An electric circuit is a closed loop that allows electric current to flow from a power source to a device and back.

Front

What is the role of a conductor in an electrical circuit?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electric current to flow easily, such as copper or aluminum.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object, often caused by friction.

Front

What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

Back

In a series circuit, there is only one path for current to flow, while in a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state, such as a sled at the top of a hill.
